Iran nuclear deal: Who gets what? White House releases details.

(Washington, D.C.) — “Iran and six world powers — the US, Britain, Germany, France, Russia and China — have reached a technical understanding to begin implementing an agreement to rollback Iran’s nuclear program,” reports the Associated Press and the Times of Israel.

“The deal, coordinated by the European Union, aims to reassure the international community that Iran is not trying to develop a nuclear weapon,” noted the report. “In exchange, Iran will see a six-month suspension in sanctions that have crippled its economy. During that period, negotiators will work to craft a comprehensive, final agreement.”
